leisureworld III MOCK DRAFT signup thread!!!

Really, I'm not being sensitive... Just asking you to think outside the box a bit...

We are trying to quickly assess the interest there would be in a Mock Draft... In doing so we want to reach as many people as possible. The main forum, is the best spot for this. We might even want something on the home page for that matter. It's important to get everyone signed up soon so they have time to study their team(s) etc before we hold the Mock....

Once we get everyone signed up for this thing... we can move everything related to the Mock Draft to the draft forum if you feel that strongly about it.

Think outside the box... Hmmm...

Why not try that? Why not look at things critically instead of just based off of what you want?

There is no justification to say that people will not see the thread because it is not in the main forum. Even the Chargers and NFL forum is a SUB forum.

If posters use the "NEW POSTS" button, they will see all new posts, meaning that sticky is of no use so long as your people who are so interested in the thread continue to post in it, no?

I also point out that for some time now you have been trying to 'quickly assess the interest there would be in a Mock Draft', yet many posts in this thread are jokes, and there is a distinct lack of interest (besed upon the posts here) by leisure and MTL who are supposed to be runing this.

And based on that, you feel we should now move draft material to the main forum. I will fully wager that the discussion we are having today has done more to allow people to view this thread than a week of stickied jokes has.

Your point is well taken and I totally see your point BUT problem is there are 100X more visitors to the main board as there are on the draft board. Having LWIII on the draft board could be setting us up for failure....can you live with yourself if it failed and you and you alone were responsible? :icon_shrug:

Learn from history....LLV was a fluke in that I caught Thumper late at night drunkie and tricked him into saying it was OK to have LLV on the main board. The next day he said no until I provided his very own post with him saying it was OK.....from there history was made with the most succesful thread in forum history.

Are you saying that you and your leisureites could not get the word out as far as the actuall location of a thread? I had far more faith in your ability to commenicate than that.

Well, I consider myself to be one of the most critical thinkers here...Conc. This is not based on what I want but rather on what makes sense.

I think the direction this thread has taken has been quite confusing with respect to how you enroll or sign up for this MOCK.... That has been the problem, not necessarily the lack of interest.

All I know is I went through the same thinmg with FO, NYPD, and "the lizard" way back when with LWI at the UT. They said no to the main board and then we proved to them what a success it could be if there was "proper" access to the draft thread. The rest was history as we had 32 GM's and another 50 on the waiting list :yes:

So why did we create all of you here a draft thread if you are incapable of ever having a 'successful' thread in it? I am getting instant messages about how much work it is to set up your thread, but none of you areconsidering the hours it takes to manage and create these forums.

So why are you incapable of using the forum created for you and having success?

Ok guys fuc it I am making the official thread in the main forum and if conc doesn't want to sticky it that is fine, we will just have to bump it, as if it won't be the most popular thread on the main forum anyway

OK I will make you a wager....we will post IDENTICAL threads in the draft forum and the main board. I will bet "my life" that in 24 hours there are 10X more posts on the thread on the main board then there are on the thread in the draft board.

Like I said I understand your point as an admin and a software geek but reality is reality

So again, you are unable to pimp your site if it is not on the main forum?

If you are that incapable of supporting something you say you feel soo strongly about post it in the main forum. I will then consider removing the draft forum as it is unneccesary.
